Victor Vu's Yellow Flowers On The Green Grass
Lands In Fortissimo's Cannes Bouquet Of Titles

Yellow Flowers On The Green Grass
Fortissimo Films at Cannes is offering international buyers the newly acquired Victor Vu's highly anticipated Yellow Flowers On The Green Grass, which has just wrapped principal photography and is now in post-production. Fortissimo holds worldwide rights outside of Vietnam.

Directed and co-written by award-winning Vietnamese-American Victor Vu now recognized as one of Vietnam's most commercially successful filmmakers, the film is a production of Galaxy Media & Entertainment, one of Vietnam's largest private entertainment companies and operators of a nationwide cinema circuit together with the collaboration of the Film Department under Vietnam's Ministry of Culture.

On finalizing the deal, with the film's Executive Producer, Ms. D.T. Huong, Fortissimo's Chairman, Michael J. Werner commented: "There is a whole new wave of cinema emanating from Vietnam that captures the energy, dynamism, introspective story-telling, and cinematic/technical sophistication of that society which is in transition. Victor encapsulates all of those trends and with this project he is working to create a film which will surely capture the hearts and minds of cinema-goers around the globe. We are honored to be working with him and my old friends at Galaxy "

Ms. D.T. Huong, Galaxy's CEO, echoed these sentiments by stating: "Yellow Flowers On The Green Grass" is a very special project and we know that Victor will make a fascinating and moving film that recalls that already long-ago era in our country and we are honored to share it with the world. We are very happy that it will be handled globally by Fortissimo Films, having previously worked with the company to distribute some of their films here in Vietnam and with Michael before that when he was with 20th Century Fox."

The film is based on the award winning and best-selling novel, I See Yellow Flowers Upon The Green Grass by Nguyen Nhat Anh. Galaxy plans a major holiday release for the film at the end of the year.

Set in the mid 1980's in a poor rural countryside village of central Vietnam, the film sets a tone of nostalgic innocence with the story of two young brothers who share everything but also compete with each other in every way while vying for the attention and affection of a young girl who lives nearby.

Produced by Ms. Trinh Thanh Tam and Mr. Nguyen Cao Tung and Executive Produced by Galaxy's CEO, Ms. Dinh Thi Thanh Huong who has been responsible for a number of Vietnam's top box-office successes, together with Mr. Le Huu Luan, and Ms. Phan Thi Le, the multi-million dollar production of Yellow Flowers On The Green Grass marks Director Vu's eleventh film.

Footage from Yellow Flowers On The Green Grass is available in Fortissimo's Cannes office.
